Hi,
? I am considering purchasing a used OB Merc. 8hp, 1999.
? I'm told by the owner it was purchased new in 1999 for $1,400.00. Used first season only. They are asking for around $1,000.00.
? NADA estimates it's worth $500.00.
? My gut tells me an engine sitting unused for at least 7 years can't be healthy.
? Should I even consider it? I could try it out.
? What are the long term issues with an engine sitting unused for so long?
Thanks.
